I had the great privilege to create these portrait paintings for a friend who wanted to give these as a gift to her kids for Christmas. They both had each been married for some time, but she wanted to capture the ‘newlywed’ joy in these paintings. I thought they turned out great! 🙂

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
